Young Man with a Horn
“Put down your trumpet, jazzman. I'm in the mood for love!”
Taken in by the musical world as a young orphan, Rick Martin grows up with a desire to play pure jazz instead of the commercial gigs he lands, whilst also coping with the problems caused by his tempestuous marriage to an aloof heiress.
